ANVER VT Vacuum Tube Lifters can now be equipped with a pneumatic release & lift assist valve: Model VT-RLV-M for the Mini series VT vacuum tube lifters and model VT-RLV-S for the Standard series.

The VT-RLV-M/S valve, when used with a VT Vacuum Tube Lifter equipped with ANVER’s CA Compressed Air Assist option, can aid in the release of an attached load and lifting of the vacuum tube lifter and pad attachment off the load when the lift tube is in its nearly fully compressed state. This is useful such as when stacking loads above head with an extended length handle is a requirement.

Principle of Operation
The operation of the vacuum tube lifter for attaching and lifting the load is the same as for a vacuum tube lifter without this option. However, with a standard tube lifter, it is necessary to tilt up the pad attachment to break the vacuum seal in order to release the load. With an extended length handle and a nearly fully compressed lift tube (encountered in high load stack height operations), this can be difficult to accomplish.

The pneumatic release & lift assist valve option simplifies this step and eliminates the need to tilt the pads to break the vacuum seal. By twisting and holding the VT-RLV attach/release knob, the vacuum seal on the pads is broken, the load is released, the lift tube compresses, and the lifter rises up off the load. Once the lifter is clear of the load, releasing the selector switch allows the tube lifter to be lowered to its normal working height. 

For proper standard operation see ANVER VT System User’s Guide + Safety Instructions Doc. No.: 12000002.
